Kiwoom Heroes vs Samsung Lions Prediction 25 August 2026
📡 Kiwoom unexpectedly wrapped up their series against KIA with back-to-back wins, capping it off on Sunday with a wild 8-7 shootout victory. Samsung, meanwhile, edged out NC Dinos 2-1 the same day to solidify their hold on second place. On August 25, the teams will field a strikingly contrasting pair of starting pitchers: Kiwoom send out the reliable Raul Alcantara, while Samsung counter with Austin Voth, who carries an ERA north of 7.00.
Head-to-Head
📊 Samsung lead the season series 8-4. Overall, the second-placed side have a clear edge over the underdogs, but Kiwum’s recent form brings some intrigue to the matchup. The hosts just put up eight runs against KIA, while Samsung boast a .278 batting average and 105 home runs this season. With both teams packing serious offensive firepower, the 7.5-run line looks rather low.
Head-to-head statistics Kiwoom Heroes - Samsung Lions
Kiwoom Heroes Team Overview
Kiwoom remain in 10th place with a 42-72-2 record. The team’s .246 batting average and 5.22 ERA highlight a challenging season, though their recent games have offered a rare bright spot.

Samsung Lions Team Overview
Samsung sit second in the standings with a 65-44-2 record. The team is batting .278, sporting a 4.26 ERA and has launched 105 home runs this season. Their recent 2-1 win over NC marked back-to-back victories. Offensively, Samsung have shown far more firepower than Kiwoom over the course of the season, and facing a club that allows a high average of runs per game provides an excellent opportunity to rack up runs-even if their own start isn’t flawless.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Raul Alcantara enters with an 8-7 record and a 3.85 ERA. He hasn't factored into the decision against Samsung this season, holding a spotless 0.00 ERA in those outings. Alcantara is capable of containing the visitors through the early innings, but shutting down the league’s second-best offense over the full game remains a tough assignment.
Austin Voth stands at 1-3 with a 7.41 ERA. He has yet to record a decision against Kiwoom this year. His overall numbers are a key reason to back the home side’s run production: Kiwoom are in strong offensive form and face a pitcher who has struggled to find consistency all season.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The 7.5 line makes the over an appealing option, even if Alcantara gets off to a strong start. Samsung are hitting .278 and have already launched 105 home runs this season, so they’re more than capable of carrying a big chunk of the total on their own against a team with a 5.22 ERA. Meanwhile, Kiwoom, coming off 11 runs in their last two games, face Voth, who’s struggled all year with a 7.41 ERA. Even if Alcantara manages to contain the visitors early, the hosts should get plenty of opportunities to contribute, while Kiwoom’s bullpen leaves the door open for Samsung to tack on runs late. The preference here is for over 7.5 total runs.
